Even as a "Star Wars" fanatic it is a bitter pill to swallow with the "Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure" movie. Sure it had ewoks, but the "Star Wars" atmosphere was not present in this 1984 movie.
And while it is a children's movie, it just wasn't particularly entertaining and seemed more like a series of random events rather than a continuous storyline.
The ewoks were the same as in "Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi", and as such that was a good thing. However, the other creatures, aside from the gorax, were abysmal to look at; fake and poorly animated.
For the two main roles they could have cast two children with at least a bit more talent; Eric Walker (playing Mace) and Aubree Miller (playing Cindel) were not really delivering on their roles.
The children will most likely find more enjoyment in the animated additions to the "Star Wars" franchise, such as "Clone Wars" or "Rebels".
All in all, no wonder this came without a fanfare and faded into oblivion as quickly as it had arrived. A more than generous four out of ten stars rating from me.
